“Those men evidently intend to allow him the run of the ark so long as he suspects nothing,” Penny mused. “Say, I know how we might bring him here!”
“How?”
“By stirring up the birds. Then Old Noah would get excited and try to break in.”

“All Noah thinks about is the coming flood. With another rain in the offing, he’ll confine his worries to how he can attract more people to his ark.”
“Lou! Maybe that’s an idea!”
“What is?” Louise inquired blankly.
“Why, perhaps we can bring help by means of Old Noah and his message bottles!”
“Perhaps you know what you mean, but I am sure I don’t!”
